Inbox, Start a Conversation.
Thank you!!!
accepted students, how long after the call did you get the official letter by mail?
It took me around 2 weeks.
Gave up my acceptance a few weeks ago. Hope you guys hears good news quickly and good luck on the rest of your app cycle!!
I just canceled my interviews with LECOM and VCOM to come to LUCOM.. IDK.. did I just make a huge mistake or what..? I really like LUCOM because I think the school's mission really aligns with my goal and it will prepare me to become a good medical missionary. But, Im a bit worried about it's establishment and residency options.. any thought? (Well the decision is already made, but I still would like to hear some thoughts)
They know what they're doing according to rotation sites. I wouldn't worry at all about giving up LECOM. I mean. It's LECOM. That's basically the Caribbean in the US. LUCOM is a fantastic school, and I think you made an excellent choice
LUCOM was very impressive. I was truly grateful that they were the first school to be interviewed at and they were very accommodating. I was the only female in the group of interviewers and the staff paid special attention to make me feel more comfortable. Even though I was very focused, it made it even a better experience becuase it was so relaxing. The building is amazing, the anatomy lab is the best I have seen compared to all the schools I interviewed at. Quite amazing with the air filtration system, I felt like I could spend days and days in there. The scenery was great, the building was new and the faculty seemed to be there for the reasons that they were supposed to be. To teach and inspire students to be the best people/physicians. Although I interviewed when the students weren't present, the student ambassadors were very open and great in giving you all the feedback you need to make the best decision for you.
Now for ... why did I give it up? The location, my family situation isn't the most ideal and VA is a bit farther from NJ than I would like. I was also very interested in Research and although the research faculty was great, there wasn't a program in place. The labs were being built with the best equipment and I have no doubt that they will be amazing research facilities, but I did not know how long this would have taken and when I would be able to participate during my first two years. It was mainly the location and the distance from my family. LUCOM is great and will provide an exceptional education as it provides an osteopathic medical education PLUS you have access to EVERYTHING (well almost) at the undergrad campus, which was also a huge plus.
Please message me if you have any questions!

I'm afraid you have LECOM and LUCOM mixed up here.
Seriously? PM me if you're actually confused about the two. No need to overload this forum with our conversation.
LECOM is no where close to the carribean. I have my problems with LECOM but your statement is hilarious.
Tagging @j4pac for the lols
DS...I spent all my energy up arguing you. It was a worth while argument...this on the other hand, I'm not going to waste my time with. 🙂
LECOM gets the most unwarrented attacks. Atleast when I go after it I try to legitimately criticize it. I feel like every couple months we have this same argument!
Exactly.
LECOM gets attacked? I have people telling me that LUCOM is like a Carribean school and that I should only go there if I have no other choice. I'm so confused now. Not that it matters. I like LUCOM a lot and I am hoping to interview at LECOM
I don't think you made a mistake at all! I have not yet confirmed my acceptance here, since I'm still waiting to hear back from other schools post interview, but I think this is a great school. I previously had some hesitancies regarding third and fourth year clinical rotations here, as well as being accepted into residencies, since we currently don't have any stats to go off of, but after talking with some current LUCOM students through SDN and speaking with some physicians at my work, I no longer have any concerns! LUCOM has established rotation sites for third and fourth years, and their options for sites are growing. I know doctors who attended new medical schools as well, as they said I shouldn't have concerns with getting into residencies graduating from a new medical school. LUCOM seems established, and their faculty definitely care about their students' success, so I wouldn't worry at all!
Can someone add me? I keep sending requests and I can see that other students are getting added because the number of members in the group is increasing.
Yea after our interview they took a couple of us to the student union building (gym and other things) and gave us a tour. They said we get access to everything undergrads get access to.
Exactly. You are a Liberty student so expect to have access to all facilities and amenities that Liberty students are granted.
Submitted my first deposit. See you guys next year!

When did you interview/get accepted?
I interviewed early September and got accepted end of September.
Thanks
accepted peeps-anyone else not receive the official letter yet? it has been almost a month for me 🙁 Got just the email confirmation ....🙁
Still waiting as well. I think I was accepted about the same time you were.
I wouldn't be sad. If you've been told you're accepted, then you're accepted.
Don't even worry about it! Accepted is accepted is accepted!
Don't worry! Just login to myLU account and start completing the acceptance check list! (If you have decided to attend)
Thanks! I'm at work for the night shift and I'm trying not to cry. Life hasn't been easy but this victory is so sweet.
ACCEPTED!!!
Same here!!!
